Ann Coulter race-baiting Joe Biden: that made my week. Wonder how she managed to type that with her hood on?

(And for anyone who doesn't already know, McCain's campaign manager Rick Davis has been on the Fannie Mae payroll to the tune of millions of dollars for the past 5 years. Pot, meet racist, lying kettle.
